Justin Va'a plays for the Pacific Islanders on Sunday
Glasgow Warriors prop Justin Va'a is in the Pacific Islanders team to face Ireland at Lansdowne Road on Sunday.

It will be Ireland's last match at Lansdowne Road before a massive redevelopment scheme begins in January.

International rugby and football matches will be played at the GAA's Croke Park stadium in north Dublin while the work is carried out.

So there is an agreement to play in Croke park, the Gaelic Sports Stadium.
I read in a French newspaper maybe a year ago, that Gaelic Athletic Association was not sure to give their agreement because Rugby is a sport imported by "Great Britain".
Open mind and/or Money succeed.

Well said I have very fond memories of Working in Dublin after uni, and my friend's hatred of the idea of anything other than gaelic games being played at the "Bertie Bowl" glad to see that progress has been made.
